First Entry

Greetings fellow "stay @ home" dads. I first brought up this idea of blogging to my wife, and she thought it was a great idea to form a stay @ home dads support group. I originally wanted to call it "displaced daddy's", as I was laid off a little over a year ago, and just sort of fell into the role. The ideas I have will take a lot of work and input from others like you for what this will cover. I would initially like to have ideas of what we can do with our kids to entertain them, watching 7 hours of Fox News is apparently not the best going for a 13 month old, or so I'm told. As most of us are on a fixed income, we will be looking for free or greatly reduced prices for what will be offered. Additionally, I would like us to meet maybe every other week for play dates so our kids can be better socialized with other kids. I promise to be honest, sometimes brutally honest, and provide an occasions laugh or two. My sense of humor is a little dry at times, but it does occasionally work. With this said, I would appreciate the periodic feedback. My email address is Scott.mathis0@gmail.com. I will post more in a couple of days, and hopefully have some ideas to share. I may have to borrow some ideas from Good Things Utah, or Fresh Living. All dads are welcome to join up. This has no religious affiliation, and political views will be extremely limited.
